Calves haven't learned they are a menu item yet.

Thanks to all for the kind wishes.

I've had no negative issues with PayPal in over ten years of use. They've even clawed back money from sketchy sellers. Combined buying and selling I have over 1000 transactions.

We have two Winchester 94s in 30-30, one 1976 and one 1980 manufacture dates. The '76 feeds short bullets just fine but the '80 appears to be dropping the lifter too early and the bullet doesn't get into the chamber as the lifter falls away. This happens with a 93 gr Lee RN design as well as an NOE ...

I've got a short/low 17 on my 94. I'm 99% sure it's the .404" one and it works great with a Williams Foolproof on the rear.

There's a guy at our club who does tree work. He can rig a line like nobody I have ever seen. I found this on a search for "arborist throw line" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tLTEzaIz7NM The first one shown, the "cradle toss" is how he does it. Hi method is to throw the line ov...

Mine is a Model 59 Winchester shotgun, the one with the fiberglass wrapped barrel. Wanted one when it was introduced, had my own money for it. But since my father saw no need for a shotgun himself there was no reason I should have one. They discontinued it in 1965, I never saw one in a gun shop, eve...

IMO, probably not.

There is a certain mindset that believes more $$ somehow equates with superior goods, sometimes linked to an ego driven attitude something like, "Look how much money I can spend".

I have used them, would not own one. Way too hard to make square cuts with them. Maybe with some sort of fixture to keep them square they would work OK.

Going by my fuzzy memory I seem to recall that Bushnell had what was probably the first "scout scope" concept waaaayyy back when they first introduced their Phantom handgun scope. Long eye relief scope mounted ahead of the receiver. The first Phantom was 1.5X, again IIRC.

Bill, thank you very much, I just sent the PM with my email address.

Around here most of the rabbits and woodchucks end up inside coyotes. Used to be you could cruise the backroads and shoot woodchucks(right from the car, it didn't used to be illegal) before the ahy got too high or after it was cut. Rabbits were all over, in quantity, and used to bunch up as the hayf...

There were times, in my youth, when I will admit to being a desperate to "get a little".

However there was never a time I was THAT desperate.

I could not agree more on the ridiculous size of the Federal Primer packaging. One has to be quite careful, when transferring Fed. primers into a primer flipper as the box is very near larger than the flipper tray. I'm not pressed for storage space but don't have a lot of extra room for the obese bo...

Large gun clubs buy them by the truck load under contract to guaranty delivery. I believe that is what they are talking about. Or possibly they are offering a service contract on the trap machine itself? Can you post the add? It's actually a line item option on most everything. C'mon, don't take al...

Belated Thank Yous to everyone.

What is that pretty little shooter you were carrying? It looks sorta Ruger 77/22 ish.

Vance, I did some casting again today, sized some of what I cast and some that were cast a couple years ago. There is a care package heading your way tomorrow with 346 NOE 311008 and 320 Lee 3**-93-RN inside. Both are sized to .311 and lubed with NRA 50-50. The lube may not fare too well in your sum...

I have a mess of light bullets that I have been playing with for just what you want to do. 93 gr Lee RN loaded with anywhere from 2.7 to 3.5 grs Bullseye. NOE 311008, listed as 115 gr, mine come out at 120-124, depending on alloy used. So far I have only shot them over 5 grs Bullseye and they have p...

That would be about the right size for brook trout up here.

This one now belongs to my wife, Linda. Engineered an "in house" swap for the 94 we already have which is going to be the subject of a JES rebore/rechamber to 35/30-30. Before she would relinquish that one we had to find one to replace it. She said it would have to shoot as good as "h...

"Why are marlin lever actions so accurate?"

They may well be that,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

But they make up for it by being butt ugly.

CNN showed a map of New England. Every state declared a disaster except Vermont. Gotta admire Vermonters. They looked out the window said "Yup it's winter and it's snowing." and went back to what they were doing. AMEN! It's January, it's Vermont, sometimes it snows, sometimes it even snow...

I was cruising LGSs today for a suitable 94 Win. to rebore for my 35/30-30 project. No luck but one shop had an 1894 in 25-35. He said he only had that one 1894 so I was a little surprised when I noticed a really beautifully blued levergun in the rack with the appropriate holes for a receiver sight....

Thank you.

Yesterday I was browsing a rack of leverguns at one of the LGSs. While I kinda/sorta knew Winchester had gone to a cheaper process for the carrier it never really connected until I looked inside rifles with both stamped sheetmetal carriers and others that appear to be cast. The only 94 I have here d...

86'er If you have 358Win or 357 herrett dies you could use that to expand the cases and size the necks. Use a 375Win die for the case head. 35Herrett seater for the bullets. When I was campaigning a 357 Herrett (14") Contender in IHMSA I was fireforming 357H cases by firing 30-30 loads in the ...

Been lurking for a while but I think this is my first post. I just got permission from SWMBO to get a second 94 Winchester in 30-30 if I could do it without dipping into household money. After all of two seconds consideration I determined that I had enough 94-3-3 casting alloy to spare and put up a ...

I have been messing with cast bullets in 30-30 and have reached the point of using the same powder charges as I do behind similar weights of jacketed bullets. I kinda/sorta want to try something with a bigger bore and there have to be some 94s out there that can be bought reasonably because the bore...

Newbie here, found this site while searching for info on 35-30-30. I will be following this thread while I'm waiting for my stars to align and I find an affordable 94 to have rebored.
